Donations from Trade Union branches and individuals in Greater Manchester have meant that Manjeet has been able to fight back legally…
For the next stage in this process we need your physical presence outside the courts…
· Manjeet was beaten and threatened with rape and murder at her home in Delhi by people looking for her husband. This is what led Manjeet to flee.
· Manjeet uses a wheelchair due to paralysis from polio; the injuries sustained from the attacks have worsened her condition.
· When she fled from India in March 2011 Manjeet was in fear for her life. She came to the UK to be with several family members who can offer her support.
· At this time, the UKBA has refused her asylum claim and Manjeet is facing the threat of deportation to India; being bound to her wheelchair in a country where 90% of the infrastructure is wheelchair inaccessible will severely diminish her ability to protect herself.
